#6686, "Sprint springs"


          

Hey, to all the guys w/ sprint springs, how does it ride? And what shocks are you running? Also can you please measure the distance from the street to the bottom of fender/bumper creases in the front and rear, and what size rim/tire you running? I want to get some springs but i want a good ride and not to low and since sprints are pretty cheap, i am looking at those... Thanks

They are 2" drop. I think they are about equal ride to my intrax, maybe a little better.

I think they are pretty good, 2 of my buds had them so I bought them but they were too low for my taste at the time.

I've got sprints sitting on stock blown shocks/struts haha. They do settle in quite a bit. The ride is just stiff, but overall not too bouncy. I like em.

ive had sprint 2" for about 2 yrs now, I have tokikos in the front only and the back is stock, my camber on the rear is blown out of proportion, the front is fine though. get sprints, and a rear camber kit first, and some good shocks, should be good to go. Its a nice height after they settle, about four fingers from the floor to the front fender

i got em too ... They give your car a really good look and the ride is better than any other car with a 2" drop. My car is a 98 with stock front end and it is about 3.5"s off the ground. The only problem i have now is the negative camber. Im wanting to put 18's on it but im not too sure if they will fit.

don't feel like typing a list!

I've had mine since summer. They DO sag a little. I know my car is more than 2" lower. You WILL need some sort of camber adj for the rear. My front is off a little too but it's all good.
I would get new struts for the front. It's a little bouncy with the stock ones. here is a pic of how much my camber was off before I did the $15-20 camber mod emoji Eventually I'll get out there and take another pic to compare after the mod.....

you can see how low it is with my 17's in my sig. I have the stock 16's on now so it's a little higher because of the 50-series tires.
